Observational Study Evaluating the Management of Chronic Coronary Occlusions In France

Data from the literature on the management of Chronic Coronary Occlusions (CTO) in France highlight a lack of epidemiological data on these patients at the national level. For this reason, it was decided to set up this large-scale survey in order to have a picture of the management of patients …

The Influence of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion on Myocardial Perfusion on Computed Tomography

The COPACABANA study is designed as a single-centre, open, prospective trial aimed to assess the influence of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) on downstream myocardial ischemia via the novel computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging technique. To this end, consecutive patients with CTO of a major coronary artery scheduled to undergo …

New Time Clock for ST-elevation MI Based on Biochemical Myocardial Infarction Onset Time

OBJECTIVES To determine the biochemical onset time using multiple hsTnI measurements from each patient (zero, 03, 08, 24 hrs), and compare this biochemical time to the patient-reported symptoms onset time as an indicator of coronary artery occlusion. To predict biochemical occlusion at the time of presentation with the use of …
